Don't just talk to AI, delegate tasks to it!

At Relay.app, I'm the sales team, the marketing team, the support team, the HR team, the finance team, the recruiting team, and more. And this is only possible because I get a ton of leverage from AI.

In this hands-on workshop, I'll show you exactly how I use AI in my day-to-day work. I'll show you how to setup Claude, Cowork, and Relay.app, and when to use each tool. This session will have a tiny bit of theory and a ton of practical examples you can use in your work the very next day. If you're a founder or operator at a startup or SMB, this is the fastest way to get your AI stack up and running.
